Got it working...

Doesnt cut too bad even with dull blades. Does have some vibration in it but found out the two mounting bolts for the blade arm (underneath the gearbox) are loose. I had to invert the hanger bearing to get the pto lined up more straight as the two mounts were broke and welded. Now if I only had some dry weather and cornstalks....

I forgot to ask...Where can I get shear bolts from? I believe it is a 5/16 x 2". I have a grade 2 bolt in it at the moment.

What model of MM is in the background? As a kid the neighbor had one, and I never cared what it was, but I have for the past 7 years.
Has a hand clutch, doesn't it?

Its a ZAU Moline.

As Jake stated, it is a ZAU, 1950 model, my dad's first tractor. He bought it brand new for $2300. Has a hand clutch which is very handy for some things. Here is a picture of my ZAU, 1952 model and MM rake. (I know this is an IH page but the rake is red...lol).
